Growler. Aroma of various fruits, lemon, raspberry, blueberry, all in the vein of pie filling. Flavor ticklingly spicy, bready, not terribly yeasty for a Belgian, even an American Belgian, but this also allows for a very crisp (mildly dry), refreshing mouthfeel and finish. Bottle it up!

Growler from New Beer in Manhattan. Deep golden amber, white head that dissipates quickly. Prett fruity(citrus) nose and flavor, a little too sweet. Nose of light fruits, sweet malt. Flavor has a lightly spiced carbonation.

Growler from Big Z, Huntington, NY. Pours a light clear orange with a small white head. Aroma of light fruit, tart raspberries, raspberry jam, and light flowery hops. Initial flavor of spices, anise star, light fruit, crisp apple, wheat/bready malt. So light and crisp, a little hot with all the spices. Absolutely delicious and easy to drink.

Tap at blind tiger. Pours a typical blegian blonde ale- hazy golden almost light orangey with a nice tight white head and good lace. Aroma is a bit on the weak side- light lemon and citrus, light phenolic, grassy hoppy hints and light crackery pale malts. Flavor is nice and refreshing- clean doughy malts, lemon grass, slight orange peel, wet hay, and a clean bitter hoppy finish with slight slickness.
